<p><span class="header2">Abstract:</span><br>
The Spring framework is one of the fastest growing open source 
frameworks.
New job postings are gaining rapidly, and many customers are adopting 
Spring
instead of heavier alternatives. In this session, we'll introduce 
Spring.
You'll see how Spring can give you much of the power of EJB, without 
the
complexity or pain.</p>
